“…Today, aluminium alloys are commonly used in numerous industries, predominantly in transport, automotive, aerospace and aviation industries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The most important properties of aluminum alloys; in addition to aluminium alloys being plentiful in nature, its facility to produce, machine, and mould, being lightweight and its improvable mechanical properties also increase the place of use and the importance of these alloys even more in today's industries [9][10][11][12].…”

“…Some aluminium alloys are quite important materials used in the manufacturing of various parts, predominantly in automotive, transport, aviation and aerospace sectors, in order to lower emissions that are harmful to the environment (SO X, CO 2 , and NO X emissions) and to use energy resources efficiently through weight decreases [2,[3][4][5][6]. Within this scope, among the significant aluminium alloys most commonly used in today's industries is Al-Si alloys [4,7,8,10].…”

In this study the effect of the change in the amount of Silicon (Si) occuring in Al-Si alloys on mechanical and machinability properties of the alloy was investigated. The change in mechanical properties and microstructure, which depends on the increase in Si percentage, and the effects of this change on Flank Build-up (FBU), wear on the cutting edge, surface roughness, and machinability were also studied. Alloys in different ratios of Si (i.e. 2 to 12 wt %), were employed in the study. The specimens for tests were obtained by casting into metal moulds. The results obtained from experimental studies indicate improved mechanical properties and machinability, depending on the rise in Si percentage in Al-Si alloys. It is also observed that the increase in Si percentage enhanced surface quality.

This study investigates the effect of the change in the amount of Si found in Al-Si alloys on mechanical properties and machinability properties of the alloy. The way the microstructure and the mechanical properties change depending on the increase in the %Si amount in the alloy and the effects of such changes on Flank Build-up (FBU), wear in the cutting edge, surface roughness, and machinability were analysed. To this end, alloys with varying amounts of silicon (i.e., 2 to 12 wt.% Si) were used in the study. Experimental samples were obtained by casting in sand moulds. It was observed in the study that, in Al-Si alloys, the mechanical properties and machinability of alloys increased depending on the rise in %Si in the alloy, that cutting forces decreased, and accordingly, machinability increased. It was also observed in the study that the increase in the %Si amount raised the surface quality (decrease in surface roughness).K e y w o r d s : machining, cutting force, mechanical properties, Al-Si alloys
